Athens: First Mosque in 200 yearshttps://rehmat1.com/2016/12/09/athens-first-mosque-in-200-years/

The mosque wouldn’t have the traditional minarets.

The project, which will be undertaken by a consortium of Greece’s biggest construction firms (J&P-Avax, Terna, Aktor and Intrakat) was due to start in November and is scheduled to be completed by April 2017.

According to Giorgos Kalantzis, the secretary general for religious affairs: “It is estimated that the mosque in Athens will have a capacity of approximately 350 people and it will be under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. The governing committee of the mosque of Athens shall administer, manage and maintain the mosque.” The cost of this construction is forecast to be one million euro ($1.06m) and will be funded in its entirety by the Greek state.

Speaking in parliament in August, Nikos Filis, the minister of education, research and religious affairs, made his intentions clear when he assured the Muslims of Athens they would have an official mosque: “The existence of makeshift mosques is a shame for the country and the Muslims who live here,” he said.

In response to criticism of the plans, he said: “It is much better having an official mosque that you know where it is and who controls it, and the people inside are safe, rather many unofficial makeshift ones.”

Greece was ruled by Muslims from 1458 to 1821 CE. During this period, Greece like Spain, Sicily and Malta became the most prosperous, enlightened and free of religious persecution by the Church against Jews and Gypsies. However, during such a long rule, Muslim remained in minority which was due to the fact that Muslim elites did not force their religion upon the native Christians like the Christian did once they became rulers again after the decline of Muslim power in those countries.

Several Greeks who converted to Islam under Ottoman rule – occupied high positions at the Royal Court. For example, Huseyin Hilmi Pasha (1855-1922), whose Greek Christian grandparents had converted to Islam, rose to become Grand Vizier (prime minister) of the Ottoman Empire.

Following the so-called War of Independence (1821-1828), a great majority of Muslim population fled the country and took refuge in neighboring Turkey and Cyprus. Those who chose to stay back were, like in Spain, Sicily and Malta, either expelled from their lands, massacred or forcibly converted to Christianity.

During the Ottoman rule Athens, the capital city, had 72 proper mosques open for five-times daily prayers. After 1828, they were all turned either into army barracks, or parking lots, or supermarkets.

Athens is the only European capital which doesn’t has a single mosque for city’s 200,000 Muslim population. Greek Muslim community is one-million-strong. Contrary to that there are two synagogues and a Jewish Museum for city’s 2,500 Jewish population.

It’s a crime in Greece to deny that Nazi killed six million Jews during WWII.

Some readers may not know that the word Holocaust is of Greek origin meaning sacrifice by fire, even though no gas chamber has ever been found inside the so-called concentration camps. The Jewish historians and scholars have also failed to come up with any reasonable proof that Nazis did sacrify 6 million Jews on fire.

The topic of this year’s Forum will be “The United States and world peace after the Presidential Election.

The Forum is hosted by the Norwegian Nobel Institute in close collaboration with the University of Oslo. Approximately 500 ‘distinguished guests’ are invited to participate in an enlightened two-hour session in the beautiful Aula at the University of Oslo to listen to the two experts to prove that America under Donald Trump administration would be worse than it was under BUS, Clinton and Obama administrations.

The Nobel Peace Prize Watch partnered with progressive group RootsAction launched a petition on Tuesday for the arrest of Kissinger, who is “complicit or a main actor in many violations of the Genocide Convention and of the Geneva Conventions,” says the petition, already signed by over 5,000.

Kissinger himself was awarded the prize in 1973 alongside his Vietnamese counterpart, Le Duc Tho, who refused to accept the award, for negotiating a cease-fire between the countries, which was ultimately ignored.

Warsaw-born Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national adviser to Jimmy Carter played a major role in supporting King Reza Shah of Iran against the Islamic Revolutionaries in 1979. Later, he directed American policy to use Afghan Mujahideen leaders to destroy Soviet Union as world power in the 1980s.

The Nobel Peace Committee is under control of Swedish government. Thus it’s prime minister Kjell Stefan Löfven’s responsibility under country’s constitution to arrest and prosecute these two American criminals for their crimes against humanity.

“If Kissinger will enjoy automatic impunity it stands out in shameful contrast with denying protection to whistleblower Edward Snowden for a stay of two days to receive the Ossietzky prize from Norwegian PEN,” wrote Jan Oberg of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research. “Can Norway really have offered protection to one who has committed the most serious international crimes and at the same time denied it to one who has exposed grave crimes against the US Constitution?”

The recipients of the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize include French Jew president François Hollande (2013), Jimmy Carter (1994), Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres (1993) along with Yasser Arafat of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) during the Oslo I Accord as an attempt to set up a roadmap to a resolution to end the Palestinian arms resistance to the Jewish occupation of Palestine. The Oslo Accords actually failed since Israel never ended its occupation and continued to build illegal Jewish settlements.

I guess, British author George Orwell was correct when he wrote in his 1949 classic novel 1984 that “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength.””

The resolution was supported by the US and its pro-Israel regimes in Germany, UK, France, Egypt, New Zealand, Ukraine, Uruguay, Japan, Malaysia, and Senegal. Venezuela voted against the resolution while Angola abstained.

“These kinds of pauses have been used by fighters to reinforce their ammunition and to strengthen their positions and this will only worsen the suffering of civilians,” said Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s permanent envoy to the UN.

“The Americans in particular are insisting on demanding a truce, because their terrorist agents are now in a difficult situation. Washington would have no more trump cards to show if Aleppo is liberated. Aleppo was the last hope of militants and their supporters, after their failure in the battles of Damascus and Homs,” president Bashar al-Assad said in an interview gave to al-Watan newspaper expected to be published on Thursday.

According to Lebanese media nearly 78% of the Eastern Aleppo has already been liberated by the Syrian army and its Hizbullah and Iraqi Shi’ite allies.

The Zionist-controlled US Congress and Senate want to drag Syrian conflict to the coming administration under Muslim-hating Donald Trump. The US lawmakers and the Jewish lobby groups expect that Trump’s family ties with Israel would force him to commit US Forces in Syria and Iran.

On December 3, 2016, Richard Spencer reported at UK’s The Times that European Union has offered hundreds of million dollars financial bribe to president Bashar al-Assad if he let the rebels rule part of the country along Israeli border.

In July 2016, the US Peace Council sent a delegation to Syria for a week in order to meet with Syrian secular and religious leaders. What they discovered there shocked even those members of the peace movement who had assumed a certain level of US propaganda. They returned to the US to speak at the UN where they denounced the entire US/western depiction and narrative of Syria as a propaganda lie.

The president of US Peace Council, Alfred L. Marder, 94, is Jewish and former member of American Communist Party. His parents were Ukrainian immigrants.

British investigative journalist Vanessa Beeley who just returned from Aleppo was interviewed at Ron Paul Liberty show (watch below). She claims that the Jewish-controlled Western mainstream media is full of lies about Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and his allies against Western-funded terrorists.
